How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter your grow room volume in cubic feet (Length × Width × Height) and measure the current relative humidity (%).
  2. Enter your target relative humidity — vegetative stage typically 60–70%, flowering stage 40–50%.
  3. Enter the room temperature in °F — warmer air holds more moisture, affecting device sizing.
  4. Review the Moisture Removal/Addition (pints/day) and Device Needed (humidifier or dehumidifier) outputs.
  5. Use Est. Run Time (hrs/day) and Monthly Cost to size and budget the humidity control equipment.

What each input means

Room Volume
Cubic footage of your grow space (L × W × H).
Current Relative Humidity
Measured humidity in the room right now.
Target Relative Humidity
Desired humidity level (veg: 60-70%, flower: 40-50%).
Room Temperature
Warmer air holds more moisture, affecting device sizing.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Room Volume = 96, Current Relative Humidity = 65, Target Relative Humidity = 50, Room Temperature = 75 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Moisture Removal/Addition
    Moisture Removal/Addition
    1.1 = 1.1
  3. Calculate Device Needed
    Device Needed
    Dehumidifier = Dehumidifier
  4. Calculate Est. Run Time
    Est. Run Time
    0.9 = 0.9
